Review:
Marseille is France’s second-most populated city. It is the largest port on the Mediterranean and is a major economic hub for the region. Visitors will find plenty of interesting sites and attractions suitable for any type of traveler. Sitting in the old harbor and watching fishermen selling their daily catch at auction is an interesting cultural experience. Taking a cruise out of Marseille and returning in the evening is a highlight of many visits. The oldest section of town is called Le Panier and contains the Vielle Charite, which is an old monument that houses exhibitions and museums. There are artisans working in their shops, charming restaurants with beautiful views, and more to explore in this delightful section of town, making it the perfect place to start a visit to Marseille.
